This film concerns a legend that has been started by the town folk of Cold Rock. Since the children in the town have been going missing, people have said it's an entity known as 'The Tall Man' who has been taking them. Julia Denning (Jessica Biel) is the local nurse whose husband died years earlier. She is soon personally involved as her child is taken. She tries to track down where the child is taken, but finds that there's more to what's happening than she knew. The towns-folk start to turn on her and the truth comes out. But there's still more to the story - who is 'The Tall Man'? And what is the truth behind the disappearances?
Leave your thoughts about The Tall Man.
| Reel Times: Reflections on CinemaMark PfeifferThe Tall Man comes as close as anything in recent years at matching the better monster-of-the-week episodes of The X-Files. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.A colossal waste of time built around tricking us with illogical plot twists, and a convoluted hard to follow narrative. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyIf you're a parent who ever, for one cold-sweat second, lost sight of your child at a playground - "The Tall Man" will tap into your darkest fears. And then make them even darker. |
| The A.V. ClubScott TobiasIn easily her best performance - and sadly, one few will see, given the film's modest release strategy - Jessica Biel stars as a single mother in Cold Rock, Washington. |
| Movies.comJohn GholsonLaugier's toiling with the seed of a good idea and interesting moral questions, but his own commitment to constructing the first half like a horror film (despite it not really being a horror film) leads to pacing issues as the film progresses. |
| Slant MagazineRichard LarsonIllustrates the problem of class mobility with a dark, troubling premise that holds a harsh light up to our own assumptions and expectations. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonThe result is tedious instead of suspenseful. |
| Film.comJordan HoffmanI like to imagine the pitch meeting for "The Tall Man" as something like this: "It will be like 'Twin Peaks,' only absolutely terrible on every level." |
| Village VoiceChris PackhamOnce you get through the flaming, Bowser's Castle–like gauntlet of the rest of the story's implausibilities, you end up in a different movie than the one on the creepy poster. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairLaugier, as was the case with Martyrs, takes the story in a completely unpredictable and, for a while, baffling direction. |
